From the official statements: "[The bullets] are some sort of caseless ammunition." Hmmm. That would make [[Flight of the Phoenix|sabotaging the casing]] a little bit more difficult then, wouldn't it? Bah. This is why writers hate being pinned down by technical details. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 13:45, 16 February 2006 (EST) | From the official statements: "[The bullets] are some sort of caseless ammunition."

Haha, this after showing us cased ammo for two seasons? They could've still had ammo sabotage with caseless ammo, though, it would have been spiking the propellant shroud of the shell. 10 minutes of research would've been enough to come up with that, if they'd bothered (I assume writers are at bare minimum as creative as myself ;) ). I think if they were too lazy to make up caseless round props for the episode, they shouldn't try to dance their way around what they chose to show. Maybe someone should drop RDM an email about something called "combustable casing". Since we don't see Vipers ejecting spent shells during gun operation, that's probably the best solution. Either that or they hold on to the empty shells, not really a good thing considering that means they'd hold on to a lot of heat from firing the guns and heat disappation is a pain in space. --[[User:David Templar|David Templar]] 15:19, 17 March 2006 (CST) | |||

Revision as of 21:19, 17 March 2006
I hear that NBC may be trying to make a spinoff of BSG, focused on either the Caprica resistance or on the crew of the Celestra research vessel (a third option of following the Pegasus crew was abandoned). Apparently, NBC is jealous of SciFi, and of RDM's unwillingness to bring BSG over to NBC. Kuralyov 01:02, 24 Jul 2005 (EDT)
- Well, I guess I've heard of more short-sighted things... -- Joe Beaudoin 10:28, 24 Jul 2005 (EDT)
- That kinda...doesn't make sense. They should just be happy that they get the money from the channel that they OWN. -- YeNguyen 12:42, 24 Jul 2005 (EST)
- I think their reasoning is that if it were on NBC as opposed to SciFi, they'd get more viewers and thus more money - and if they had a show on each, then there'd be even more money than that. Kuralyov 22:13, 24 Jul 2005 (EDT)
- I've got the theme songs of the first and second season, but don't know how to convert them into an .ogg file, can someone help? --Blacklight
- I'm afraid that we aren't going to be able to use them, anyway. For one, we need to have permission to use them anyway; as of right now, both themes are available on the season 1 soundtrack, and were we to post them, we'd probably get in trouble for copyright infringement. Something that I seriously do not want to occur. -- Joe Beaudoin 21:50, 30 September 2005 (EDT)
- Ah alright, not a problem. --Blacklight
sop vs. SOP[edit]
In the discussion of the doctor's smoking habit. RDM calls this "my one sop to the idea of an idealized society". Someone well-intentioned added the definition "[Standard Operating Procedure]" after "sop", probably after looking it up on an online dictionary. Unfortunately, this is incorrect. "sop" in this case does not refer to the abbreviation SOP, but to the word "sop: noun, 1. A piece of food soaked or dipped in a liquid. 2a. Something yielded to placate or soothe. b. A bribe."
I simply removed the bracketed addition.--Jasontondro 15:19, 23 December 2005 (EST)
- You're right, but the funny part is, the second, "incorrect" context does actually "fit" as well. :) If you read it as "... my one Standard Operating Procedure to the idea..." you can hear the sarcasm. A little disjointed, but still. But yes, you are right, it should be "sop". -- Hawke 14:46, 16 February 2006 (EST)
Caseless Ammo?[edit]
From the official statements: "[The bullets] are some sort of caseless ammunition." Hmmm. That would make sabotaging the casing a little bit more difficult then, wouldn't it? Bah. This is why writers hate being pinned down by technical details. --Steelviper 13:45, 16 February 2006 (EST)
